  • How would they expect to collect this "money" thing? Across international borders and stuff?

  • What is the best way to drop 50lbs in two months without spending alot and no fad diets?

  • Well - I don't think this is healthy or possible in 2 months.

    Last year, I weighed in at 242 with high blood pressure and decided to get serious about weight loss. I started tracking my input and output to my system. I have a watch that measures approximately how much I work off. I use apps to track how much I'm taking in. The one factor that is missing is your BMR, your basal metabolic rate. This is how many calories you burn just by being alive. There are special scales or devices that can measure this for you. You will need this to figure out the math.

    Food calories eaten - BMR - Exercise calories spent = Calorie deficit or excess

    So, if you exercise more, or eat fewer calories, you'll lose weight.

    So, a pound of fat is 3500 calories, so if you have a deficit of about 500 calories a day, that's about a pound of fat per week. If you have a deficit of 1000 calories a day - that's a lot! - then you might lose 2 pounds a week.

    Using this formula, I managed to lose about 45+ pounds in 6 months. I worked up to a walk+jog and managed to cover about 3+ miles per day. Unfortunately, with the cold weather of winter, I've not been able to exercise much, so my weight loss stopped in December.

    But what you're talking about is losing 5+ pounds per week. That would require a 2500 calorie deficit! That would be a super-heavy workout every day. And then eating very sensibly. Even so, there is danger that some of your weight loss would be muscle and bone loss in addition to fat.

    tl;dr - Don't do this. Also, talk to a doctor.

  • The sad part is, it's not Trump voters that will die. It's their kids. And immunocompromised folks caught in the crossfire.

    It's sad and stupid, all the way down.

    Its printers used to be kinda so-so, but HP and the other brands decided to become so shitty - Brother became number 1 by remaining stagnant.

  • What was it trained on, though?

    Even if what it produces is "not technically child abuse", it was trained on how to make pretend child abuse, emulating what it has already seen. It uses previous child abuse as a guide to make stuff. It may also mix and match the real child abuse to make pretend child abuse. There might be real abused children in those images.

    That's bad, right?

  • My favorite parts are the hat tips to the conspiracy theories about nut oils and additives (like guar gum). Oh, yeah - I'm glad their favorite "unprocessed" (unpasteurized) cow's milk gets a nod.

  • Please us "Democratic" when using it as an adjective. "Democrat" is the noun.

    When you use "Democrat" as an adjective, that's the Republican framing - intentionally bad grammar because supposedly it sounds better to emphasize the "rat" or something. Because their brain never advanced beyond 6th grade.

    It's pretty horrible that so many life or death services are locked behind a paywall.
